The Stollar family has published two books for people that want to coach debate students. The first, It Takes a Parent, is a 12-week course for the first time parent/coach and Coaching Policy Debatewas writtento help your group transition from a debate class to a competitive club. This textis meant to encourage you that coaching policy debate can be learned, thatyou can coach without previous experience, and thatyou will learn along with your students.
Designed to supplement Christy Shipe'sIntroduction to Argumentation and Debate (althoughyou can use her newer Intro. to Policy Debate instead)and meant to follow It Takes a Parent, Coaching Policy Debateoffers a lot of specific, practicalhelp for parents.The book describes 12 club meetings, and each of thesehave agendas and scripted lectures.Since parents are also an essential part of a debate club, four parent meetings are organized as well.Several appendicesoffer a numberexcellent resources, including parentand student handouts, coaching materials, round robin and tournament materials, and more.
